There are four Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 GMT on Sunday.

TEAM NEWS

Unai Emery makes six changes to the side that started the 2-0 Europa League win over Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Matty Cash, Lucas Digne, Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn, Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins all return, ousting Victor Lindelof, Ian Maatsen, Lamare Bogarde, Evann Guessand, Jadon Sancho and Donyell Malen from the starting XI.

There are four changes to the Bournemouth line-up: Adam Smith, Veljko Milosavljevic, Justin Kluivert and Evanilson in for Alex Jimenez, Bafode Diakite, David Brooks and Eli Kroupi.

The only alteration from Brentford manager Keith Andrews sees Aaron Hickey start. Kristoffer Ajer makes way.

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has had his hand forced with his only change due to the injury sustained by Anthony Gordon. Jacob Murphy comes in.

Down in south London, Marc Guehi is absent, while Will Hughes and Yeremy Pino drop to the bench. Jaydee Canvot, Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada replace them.

Ismaila Sarr is fit to start.

Brighton and Hove Albion are unsurprisingly unchanged from the team that beat Leeds United last time out.

Finally, at the City Ground, Sean Dyche has made two changes from the 2-2 draw with Manchester United. Ibrahim Sangare and Nicolas Dominguez come in, with Douglas Luiz and Callum Hudson-Odoi both absent.

Leeds have also made two alterations. Anton Stach replaces the benched Ao Tanaka in central midfield, while Lukas Nmecha starts up top, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin only fit enough for a place on the bench.

  16. Kaneyonero

    5 months, 5 days ago

    The goals are always in the matches you don't really care about it.

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 months, 5 days ago

      Buendia bends it beautifully

      Free kick

      1. AC/DC AFC

    Buendia FK G

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 5 days ago

      Sensational knuckleball !

  21. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    5 months, 5 days ago

    Senesi CS busted

  22. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    5 months, 5 days ago

    Is this considered a Woltemade assist? Pass wasn’t going to Barnes

  23. OneTeamInBristol
    • 2 Years
    5 months, 5 days ago

    Wolt assist!

  24. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    5 months, 5 days ago

    Barnes is better than Gordon imo

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 5 days ago

      Gordon hasn’t scored a PL goal or assist since Jan 25 so he’s maybe the worst FPL pick out there

  25. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    5 months, 5 days ago

    Woltemade whingers rejoice

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 5 days ago

      Sold him and Pedro going into gw10

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years

        Same here. Sold Wolte and JP with WC10. Not my finest moments

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 5 days ago

    3. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 5 days ago

  26. FOREST FOREVER 2
    • 1 Year
    5 months, 5 days ago

    Wolte Assist. Like it.

  27. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 5 days ago

    Assist nearly good as a goal

  28. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 5 days ago

    Petrovic and Senesi cleanie gone 🙁

    Of course Villa who can’t hit a barn door score and wipe it

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 5 days ago

      And of course it’s a worldie 😆

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 5 days ago

      Villa are all over them

  29. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    5 months, 5 days ago

    Hopefully Semenyo gets the next FK for Bou

  30. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    5 months, 5 days ago

    They haven't given it but surely that was an assist..

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 5 days ago

      He's a template pick, he'll get it. Unlike Bowen last week.

    2. OneTeamInBristol
      • 2 Years
      5 months, 5 days ago

      That is a load or rubbish. 100% an assist
